Hi loves! I have this months Polish Pickup to share with you. If you don't already know, Polish Pickup is a Facebook group where makers create a polish/product based on a certain theme and all of the polish/products are sold in the Polish Pickup store at the beginning of each month. Customers then get to pick which polishes/products they want and pay a flat rate shipping!
The February theme is Wild Animals!
And I have 15 of those polishes and products to share with you today!

Glisten & Glow | Glitter Grabber
Described as an amazing product that gets applied after any glitter or flakie dense manicure is done and it’s fully dry and before your top coat. It aids in creating a smoother surface for your top coat or matte top coat all while “grabbing” that extra texture!
Directions:
After you have applied your glitter or flakie polish and have fully let it dry, you add a nice layer of Glisten & Glow Glitter Grabber on top. It is a shiny formula upon application and will add that extra layer of protection and smoothing action to that texture. Allow to fully dry and then add your glossy or matte top coat!
Shown here 1 coat over 3D nail studs. Formula was good and applied well leaving the finished look smooth. Take note that I also apply 1 thin coat of G&G Fast Dry Top Coat over it for a full glossy finish.
